The Battle of Life: A Love Story is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1846. It is the fourth of his five "Christmas
Books", preceded by A Christmas Carol (1843), The Chimes (1844), The Cricket on the Hearth (1845) and followed by The Haunted
Man and the Ghost's Bargain (1848). The setting is an English village that stands on the site of an historic battle. Some
characters refer to the battle as a metaphor for the struggles of life, hence the title. The Battle of Life is the only one
of the five Christmas Books that has no supernatural or explicitly religious elements. The story bears some resemblance to
The Cricket on the Hearth in two respects: it has a non-urban setting, and it is resolved with a romantic twist. It is even
less of a social novel than is Cricket. As is typical with Dickens, the ending is a happy one. Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most memorable fictional characters and is generally
regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the
twentieth century his literary genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue
to be widely popular. Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, is one
of the most influential works ever written, and it remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic
genre. Set in London and Paris, his 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, is the best selling novel of all time. His creative
genius has been praised by fellow writers - from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell and G.K. Chesterton - for its realism, comedy,
prose style, unique characterisations, and social criticism. [Elib]

"Drawing on a mass of contemporary material spanning four millennia, this book follows the merchant seaman ashore and afloat
through the typical vicissitudes of his exotic but uncertain life. Although it is an unsentimental 'warts and all' portrayal,
it is nevertheless an affectionate valedictory tribute to a lifestyle that has almost vanished."--Amazon

Five tales written for Christmas, 1843 to 1848, combining realism and fantasy. "A Christmas Carol in Prose" makes its ghostly
appeal to Scrooge, the hard old miser, and "The Chimes" is a variation of the same motive. "The Cricket on the Hearth" is
an idyll of home life, "The Battle of Life", an imaginative deliverance on resignation, "The Haunted Man", a fairy tale with
the beauty of kindness for its moral. For other editions, see Author Catalog
